Trump eases ObamaCare rules with executive order

Trump eases ObamaCare rules with executive order | 12 Oct 2017 | President Trump on Thursday signed an executive order aimed at taking action on ObamaCare on his own after Congress failed to repeal the law. Trump said Thursday the order is "starting that process" to repeal ObamaCare. It will be the "first steps to providing millions of Americans with ObamaCare relief," Trump said. Administration officials said the order is just the beginning of the administration’s actions related to the health-care law. Experts warned that the order could undermine the stability of ObamaCare markets by opening up skimpier, cheaper plans that would divert healthy people away from ObamaCare plans.
